What an awesome notebook! I have been eyeing the Samsung Chrome notebook from Google for a while. It’s super thin, light, and I’m one of those guys that is a heavy user of Google products. The fact that it runs the Chrome O/S, it is super fast, boots in 8 seconds… if you keep everything [...]
Less than a month ago we launched a new Facebook page for a new National website. Starting from zip… we quickly went to work reaching out to influencers in our market. In nearly a week we approached 200 fans but the steam seemed to be running out and we started to stall. As we continued [...]
A long time goal of mine was finally achieved in December… to make $1,000 in one month from Google Adsense. It was so close that, well what the heck, I say we did it! I must say that this process has shown me that despite all the hope and effort you are never going to [...]
Last Thursday Google released Communities into Google+ which provides community managers, bloggers, brands, and individuals with a powerful tool to grow discussion and content.

How many of you have set through countless social media webinars hearing and learning how to respond to your customers via social media channels? You may possibly have hosted webinars teaching people these best practices. But who has experienced it first [...]
While Google Adsense was down compared to the prior month, I thought I would share our VigLink revenue. What is amazing is that we generated over 2,000 affiliated clicks in October through VigLink yet the revenue was only $104. Google Adsense generated $317 bringing our total click revenue to $421 for the month. I continue [...]
So this morning I received yet another email from Mall of Georgia Ford. This is a Ford dealership that while I am uncertain how they captured my email address I know I have utilized their can-spam unsubscribe link multiple times without success. Obviously, no one there maintains an unsubscribe list or removal requests. Besides, I’m [...]
So here lately I’ve found myself watching Ted Talks in bed on my tablet. I recently discovered Mena Trott’s presentation on blogging. Mena and her husband founded Six Apart which owns Moveable Type, TypePad, LiveJournal, and Vox from her hobby for blogging. Personally, I enjoyed her presentation… I love a good story of success that is [...]
